Award-Winning Elementary Math Tutors for Students in Phoenix, AZ

Hello! My name is Miguel. I have extensive experience in educational system with K-12, at-risk, court-appointed, international, and visually-impaired students. My tutoring experience includes in-home and public institutions for nearly five years. A good tutor is patient and is able to adapt to the needs of the student and to the parent. I chose to be an educator to assist in the progression and knowledge of students.

I have therefore had a lot of chemistry, including organic and p-chem as well as algebra, trig, geometry and multi-variate calculus.

...tutor for several years now. I have worked with students across a wide range of ages between 8th grade to adults returning to college. I try to focus on helping students overcome the difficulties that prevent them from participating in their classes, and encourage them to be more independent. Most often these difficulties often range from inexperienced study skills, insufficient time for classwork, long absence from school, and deficiencies in prerequisite material. Personally, I like...

As a tutor I believe it is my job to not only help you with your homework, but to also help you learn the core material. If something does not make sense, let us go back until it does, and then progress from there. I also enjoy making the subject matter fun, and if that is not possible, at the very least relatable. ... I like to go back to underlying concepts that they already understand...

...knowledge base of the world increases dramatically. More than just adding to the cumulative knowledge of the past, some would say that information is increasing at an exponential rate. Currently, students are being asked to absorb this information; often without a proper structure or guidance as to how this can be accomplished. Having already made this journey myself, I am very excited to join Varsity Tutors and to help motivated students in their quest for...

...understand their studies but feel comfortable with the material so that they can apply their own experiences to it. Education and the pursuit of knowledge are passions of mine, so I truly love getting to help students have their "aha!" moment with a tough subject. Getting to see the happiness that comes after understanding and enjoying an academic lesson or subject makes my day! In my spare time, I enjoy pilates, spending time with my...

...the best universities. I'm proud to say that I've helped all my students reach their goals, frequently pushing them to exceed their expectations. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time outdoors and exploring all that Arizona has to offer -- it's so different from the east coast that I just can't get enough of it! I also like taking my telescope out into the desert to try my hand at amateur astronomy and photography,...

...than if they had never attempted it. I believe that tutors are the most helpful when the student has already struggled with a concept, because the tutor can hone in on the specifics. Math is a skill that gets better with practice, like sports or music. I keep my arithmetic skills sharp through tutoring at Kumon, and my higher math skills through self-study with my college textbooks and tutoring higher math students. I plan on...

...trig and calculus, with my main love and main focus being on algebra. What I love about algebra is the detective work---figuring out what needs to be done to solve a problem instead of just attacking it with a calculator. My tutoring style is to adapt my explanations to the needs of my students---there are always several ways to do any given problem, and I ask questions to determine which way will work best for...

...think I manage to be successful in helping others is that I recognize the different types of learning styles. Some individuals are verbal learners (like me), others are physical learners, and others have even different styles of learning (there are seven recognized types of learning). Teachers can attempt to teach to different learning styles, but sometimes trying to accommodate for all seven can be incredibly tedious, especially when there are a lot of students in...
